ABSTRACT:
A fire suppression system for use with a cookstove or range operates in several modes or stages to warn of, prevent, and extinguish stovetop fires. The system includes a pressurized supply of fire retardant connected to a nozzle. A fusible link releases the fire retardant through the nozzle. Several sensors are attached to a circuit so that increasing ambient temperature can be monitored. The supply of fire retardant is provided with a low pressure sensor which may be overridden. On sensing a first temperature increase, a fan is switched on. At a second temperature, an alarm is activated. At a third temperature, the stove is shut down. The fusible link is designed to melt at a temperature higher than the third temperature so that provisional measures may be activated prior to dispensing the fire retardant. Methods related to the fire suppression system are also disclosed.
